How did he get on top of the Super Dome? How was he able to shoot people from that position? How is it that no evidence of his actions were left behind? How is it that there were no reports of shots supposedly being fired from on top of the Super Dome? Everyone should remember that there were people and police at the Super Dome after Hurricane Katrina passed through New Orleans? How is it that there were no photos of Chris Kyle getting onto, or getting off of the Super Dome? How is it that none of the news helicopter flying over New Orleans after the hurricane saw anyone on the roof of the Super Dome? How is it that there were no Coast Guard reports of someone, or individuals being spotted on the roof of the Super Dome?

I think people should also remember the Super Dome sustained a large amount of damage during Hurricane Katrina. Would Chris Kyle, or anyone else have been able to use the roof of the Super Dome as a staging ground for sniper shooting?

It seems that Kyle wanted to tell a story and just picked the most famous building in the city to use as his staging ground. It seems that even in the best of conditions the Super Dome would be seen as a bad place to conduct a sniper attack. It would have hard, time consuming, and dangerous to get onto the building. It seems the easiest way to get on top of the building would have been to use a helicopter and have someone either jump from the helicopter, or rope down. Why go through all that trouble when there were much more easily accessible buildings and monuments in the city. However, snipping from the roof of the Super Dome does seem to make a better more exciting story.

Maybe you should read the memo Recursion Jan 2015 #56

What's shitty is the US Government contracting with killers. Octafish Jan 2015 #73

How FBI Entrapment Is Inventing 'Terrorists' - and Letting Bad Guys Off the Hook Octafish Jan 2015 #78

It wasn't a "memo to shoot Occupy leaders", it was an investigation of a threat against them Recursion Jan 2015 #44

Shhhh! zappaman Jan 2015 #54

That's how I read it. The FBI investigated a threat against Occupy. tammywammy Jan 2015 #61

That's how EVERYONE who doesn't think EVERYTHING is a conspiracy reads it. n/t zappaman Jan 2015 #64

No. That's what you said. Very different take for those without an agenda. Octafish Jan 2015 #80

Because nobody else uses the phrase "if deemed necessary." NuclearDem Jan 2015 #82

FBI met with agents or agencies unknown concerning the assassination of American citizens... Octafish Jan 2015 #86

No shit they did, that's what investigations entail. NuclearDem Jan 2015 #89

Doesn't consistently missing the point embarrass you, NuclearDem? Octafish Jan 2015 #91

How on earth does that indicate an official agency was behind the plot? NuclearDem Jan 2015 #92

Like the time the CIA enlisted the Mafia to assassinate Fidel Castro? Octafish Jan 2015 #100
